Doing a little TTRPG Kickstarter research:
If there's a game you're interested in backing and it has an exclusive set of dice available at a higher tier, does that make you more interested in backing at the higher tier? What physical rewards do you find most appealing?

I prefer things like a GM prep book or a themed player notebook or something like that.
Not sure how much that's influenced by horror stories about having to *ship* that stuff though.
I’m also a big fan of upping the rate of contributors if the project does well.
I also like things like setting specific coins or alternative currency.
Enamel pins.
Map tiles.
Tarot cards, i.e., Monster, Item, NPC cards to show off the art to players or easy stat reference.
When it comes to TTRPGs they don't really sway me. I want the physical copy of the product - I avoid anything AI, and like the aesthetic to match the theme of the game.
Skip.
Anyone who cares about dice has a set they like.
Quality DM screens, reference charts, or other play aids matter.
"Does this make the game easier to run or less of a hassle"
A special edition book cover is cool.
DM support items, like a screen or reference cards.
Both the Dungeon Dudes and the Legends of Avantris have offered really cool stuff that has gotten me to upgrade before.
Standard numbered dice, especially plastic are no longer of interest.
Give us easy to read sheets, GM screen, player reference cards for actions/abilities, etc. USEFUL things. I don't need swag, I need utility and accessibility for new players.
Cards are a different story! Have a lot of cards, but they usually showcase the art and vibe of the game better than dice can.
However, I prefer things, like PDFs so I can share with players. I like enamel pins, art books, creative insights, and unique swag - cups, buttons, shirts & the like.
If i backed it, i want to feel like a sponsor of the product
If I do get excited about physical add ons, it's because it's unique and useful. Most recent thing that came to mind was a really nice double walled tumbler.
For Paragons, a set of d6 might have been a great add-on. I mean I have a bajillion but not everyone might. I got the Draw Steel dice because the system is customized.
Alt covers interest me as collectibles.
Similarly vibrant art pieces that could be framed are also of interest.
